Synopsis
Fer Quirarte, a multidisciplinary Mexican artist,
has been published for the first time in Italy by Bibliolibrò. He has written and illustrated this story with vivid and bright colours, using geometric lines to create
two-dimensional plans in which the protagonist moves.
Fer Quirarte plays with forms and follows the “silhouette” (colour) technique to give life to the characters.
The literary topos of shadows develops from the story
of a dog that accidentally eats its own shadow and comes to a compromise with the Sun in order to get it back.
The shadow, which is a hidden part of each of us,
detached from us and yet part of ourselves, here becomes a pretext to explore the outside world and connect with it.
The dog will learn to know and respect its own shadow and its company, in order not to be alone.
Simplicity and elegance characterize this poetic book, where even the stars and the moon have a voice.
The large size and the shape of its cover embellish this book capturing the attention and admiration of children.

Drawing is his native language. Mexican multidisciplinary artist and designer. 4 times selected winner at the “American Illustration – American Photography
